Common rejection reasons

Common PH rejections (US Filipino B1/B2 refusal ~25-30%): (1) 214(b) refusal — failure to overcome immigrant intent presumption; (2) Weak ties to Philippines (unmarried, low salary); (3) Family ties in US/Guam raise red flags (~4M Filipino-American community + ~30K Filipinos in Guam); (4) Tourism to Guam alone seen as suspicious — H-2B work visa misuse concerns; (5) Past US/Western visa refusals carry forward; (6) Document fraud history; (7) H-2B Filipino hospitality worker fraud — fake job offers; (8) Manila consulate has historic visa fraud cases — extra strict for first-time applicants.
